The Mystique Deck (2013)

The Mystique Deck is a special deck of 60 cards, with each card depicting three different features (instead of two, like a regular poker deck):

• Colour: Yellow, red, and blue — the 3 primary colours of pigment. There are 20 cards of each colour.
• Suit: Suns, Moons, Arms, and Crowns. Suns and moons are the ‘heaven’ cards. Arms and Crowns are the ‘earth’ cards. There are 15 cards of each suit.
• Number: from 1 to 5. Fives are depicted with an open palm, with the corresponding coloured suit in its palm. There are 12 cards of each number.

Moreover, each card has a unique number at the top, from 1 to 60. This is the ‘card number’.

• Three of red crowns,
• One of blue suns (also called ace of blue suns),
• Five of yellow arms (also called palm of yellow arms)

There are two different Mystique decks: Mystique Gold and Mystique Silver. Both have the same card distribution; only the backs are different.

The Mystique Deck includes a default game also called Mystique, but the deck has been designed to be used in different future games. You will be able to download new rules from the nestorgames site as they are uploaded.
